It's a Boy!


Mr. D and I had a gender reveal party this past weekend and enjoyed sharing the gender of our baby with our close friends! During the party we handed out to our guests white cupcakes that were filled with the gender-revealing color. I had a lot of fun biting into the cupcake alongside everyone else and seeing the blue color hidden inside representative of a boy!

We are planning to name him after his grandpa on my husband’s side.

A few weeks ago Mr. D and I took a trip to Las Vegas to visit Mr. D’s family and we shared with his grandpa that if we had a boy we would name our boy after him. Mr. D’s grandpa was pretty excited when called him a week later to tell him that we found out we were having a boy and that he would have a great-grandchild to share his name.

Overall we’ve enjoyed all the love and support we’ve received from our friends and family. We hope we are up to the task of becoming parents and are looking forward to the big life transition.

-Mr. D and Mrs. M

Sean and Eunice's wedding celebration!

This past weekend we got to celebrate with our friends Sean and Eunice at their wedding! With help from our nanny, my brother and his wife, and a babysitter, we were able to trust that our kids would be okay back home for the weekend. Based on the photo below, can you guess what airport we flew to? We flew from Provo to Portland! I guess this carpet has been teased as very ugly and it was a trend a while back to take photos of your feet with the carpet when you pass through the Portland airport on social media. Most of the carpet has been replaced at the airport and the Portland airport has also been significantly beautified since.  We got to see many people we love. On Saturday before the meet and greet at the wedding, we were able to hike a section of the Pacific Coast Trail, a trail that goes thru the United States from Mexico to Canada ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pacific_Crest_Trail ) with our friend Dan.  The connection of us to Sean and Eunice and a subgroup of the g...

Outside and enjoying the sunshine

  Our family recently crossed the 1 year in Utah mark. We've really enjoyed exploring the area and being outside. We love going on the Murdock trail near our home.  Recently our oldest, Neil, went on his longest bike ride ever (a 20 mile trip!) and rode from where we live in Highland down to the Lindon temple (and back home).  The boys love biking and scootering and visiting the various parks nearby. We've been really happy with our ebike (a radwagon) and this past summer added a couple escooters (secondhand segway ninebots). Hope you've had a great summer.
